Conflict in the Niger Delta arose in the early 1990s over tensions between foreign oil corporations and a number of the Niger Delta's minority ethnic groups who feel they are being exploited, particularly the Ogoni and the Ijaw.
Prior to 2003, the epicenter of regional violence was Warri. However, after the violent convergence of the largest military groups in the region, the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force (NDPVF) led by Mujahid Dokubo-Asari and the Niger Delta Vigilante (NDV) led by Ateke Tom (both of which are primarily made up of Ijaws), conflict became focused on Port Harcourt and outlying towns. The two groups dwarf a plethora of smaller militias supposedly numbering more than one hundred.

Here are pictorial story of the events that occur during this period...

Hodor!

And buhari wants them to come back again.

So that he can crush them.


But it might not be the way he thinks

asari dokubo is now a celebrity, just imagine...

Hmmm.

Its a shame that Nigerians dont take care of their own. Even the so called Niger Delta fighters are more greedy and selfish than those they are fighting against now.

Am proud to be a nigeria

OP remove one of dose pictures. Its not the Nigerian Army but Boko Haram

The Niger-Delta militants could define what they were fighting for..

THE NIGERIA WE LIVE IN TODAY

Now, this is a photostory I enjoyed. Brings back the memories of those days when Freemanan and I transversed the river Ethiope in Abraka down from Umuebu to Sapele looking for pipelines to blow up and white men to kidnap but all to no avail. We ended up snapping pictures though. But my camera was stolen by one rugged swimmer in McCarthy beach area. He wasn't even afraid of our costumes and powdered bodies. Anyway, when amnesty started, we wanted to partake being that we were part of the struggle but we didn't have any weapon to drop apart from a dusty walking stick belonging to Freeman's ancestors that looked like a gun. We were also afraid the amnesty was a big setup. We didn't trust the government. So at last, we decided to just lay low and finish our degree programmes. If we had done the amnesty, by now Freemanan would have bought a large Peninsula in Lekki for only his dogs to stay.

Oh the good old days!

I believe all is in order for Lalasticlala to moderate.
